Battlefield 2042 Gets New Quality of Life Update, Patch Notes Revealed

By Logan Moore

A new quality of life update for Battlefield 2042 has today been released across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms. Just a few weeks back, EA and developer DICE let loose patch version 4.2 for Battlefield 2042 which brought about a number of notable changes to the multiplayer shooter. Now, patch version 4.2.1 has been pushed out and looks to make further tweaks to those new elements that arrived in the last update. 

Available to download at this very moment, the newest patch for Battlefield 2042 makes small alterations to virtually all aspects of the game. Specifically, DICE has most notably made a couple of improvements to various gameplay mechanics while also adjusting certain maps and weapons. None of these changes are going to overhaul Battlefield 2042 as a whole, but they should make the experience moderately improved. 

You can find the full patch notes for today's Battlefield 2042 update down below.
